AC Issues Explained

Air Filters

Dirty cabin air filters have a way of reducing the air flow that your AC
system puts out. Replacing your filter is a simple and cost-effective
way to improve the flow and sanitation of your car’s air. When you
bring your car into our shop, we’ll have your specific air filter
in stock and can take care of the replacement.

Fluids

Maintaining proper fluid levels can be difficult. Excessive fluid can keep
the system from keeping the air cool, while too little fluid can ruin
the system. Our ASE-certified technicians will make sure your fluid levels
are in the ideal spot. Additionally, we could suggest a coolant flush
to remove your current fluid, which can become acidic, and replace it
with new fluid.

Leaking Refrigerant

Tubes and seals wear down over time. As they wear down, little cracks form
and lead to refrigerant leaks. When this happens, a Christian Brothers
Automotive ASE certified technician will find the source of the problem
and fix the leak to the manufacturer’s standard.

Warning Signs of a Failing AC System

When it comes to auto AC repair, there are a great number of different
issues that could be causing your car’s AC to function improperly.
Every car is different, and we approach each Auto AC Repair by diagnosing
the root of the problem.

Think your auto AC is in danger of failing? Here are a few things to be aware of:

Sound – If your auto AC is making strange noises – either through
the vents or under the hood – your air conditioning could be failing.

Smell – If your car has taken on an unexplained odor, it could be more
than just day old fast food in the back seat – your evaporator could
have bacteria buildup.

Feel – If your AC is blowing out inconsistent temperatures that vary
wildly and fluctuate, you might have ice accumulating in your AC, or there
could be bigger problems with your compressor.

Frequently Asked Questions about AC Maintenance

If you’re not looking forward to sweating in your car all summer,
Christian Brothers Automotive can help you examine, diagnose and repair
whatever is ailing your air conditioning system.

How Often Should My AC Be Inspected?

You should have your air conditioning system inspected any time you notice
a difference. Some noticeable differences may be the air isn’t as
cold as it’s supposed to be, or it’s taking far too long for
your vehicle to produce cold air. We can find out exactly why your AC
isn’t working with just a simple inspection.

What Does “Recharging the System” Mean?

An auto repair mechanic may tell you that your AC system needs to be recharged.
In other words, the system needs more refrigerant, also called Freon.
Refrigerant is an agent that cools the air before it reaches the cabin
of the vehicle.

Refilling the system with more Freon should be done with caution. Because
your AC is a closed system, it’s possible that there’s a leak.
When a leak isn’t fixed, it can cause much bigger problems with
your air conditioner or cooling system. However, there’s no need
to worry. With an AC performance check, we can find the issue and have
you cruising down the road in no time!

Is the Cabin Filter the Same Thing as the Air Filter?

No. The cabin and air filter are entirely separate filters. That being
said, all automotive filters have the same function. They prevent harmful
debris and contaminants you run into on the road from coming into the
vehicle and causing damage. The air filter stops contaminants from going
into your engine while the cabin filter prevents dirt, dust, pollen and
other pollutants from entering the vehicle through the AC system.

All our repair services come with a 24-month or 24,000-mile warranty, whichever
works best for you. Contact our professionals today to schedule a service.
